In guard cells when sugar is converted into starch, the stomatal pore
1. Opens partially
2. Closes completely
3. Opens completely
4. Remains unchanged
It is a common observation that CAM plants are not tall. The reason most likely is:
1. They would be unable to move water and minerals to the top of the plant during the day.
2. They would be unable to supply sufficient sucrose for active transport of minerals into the roots during the day or night
3. Transpiration occurs only at night, and this would cause a highly negative in the roots of a tall plant during the day.
4. Since the stomata are closed in the leaves, the Casparian strip is closed in the endodermis strip is closed in the endodermis of the root.
A plant requires potassium for:
(1) Holding its cells together
(2) Synthesizing chlorophyll
(3) DNA replication
(4) Opening and closing its stomata
Which one gives the most valid and recent explanation for stomatal movements?
1. Transpiration
2. Potassium influx and efflux
3. Starch hydrolysis
4. Guard cell photosynthesis
Stomatal opening is affected by
(1) nitrogen concentration, carbon dioxide concentration and light
(2) carbon dioxide concentration, temperature and light
(3) nitrogen concentration, light and temperature
(4) carbon dioxide concentration, nitrogen concentration and temperature
Glycolate induces opening of stomata in
(1) Presence of oxygen
(2) Low concentration
(3) High concentration
(4) Absence of
The immediate cause of opening and closing of stomata is a change in the
(1) Turgidity of subsidiary cells
(2) Flexibility of aperture
(3) Change in the turgidity of guard cells
(4) All of these
The inner wall of guard cell is not
1. Thin
2. Elastic
3. Towards the pore or stomatal aperture
4. All of these
The opening of stoma is also…….due to the orientation of the microfibril in the …….
of guard cells.
(1) Supported, cytoplasm
(2) Supported, cell wall
(3) Affected, cell membrane
(4) Affected, cytoplasm
Microfibril of Guard cells of stoma are not
(1) Made up of Cellulose
(2) Oriented radially
(3) Makes it more easy for stoma to open
(4) Found in cytoplasm
